Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.

Museums, monuments and privately held collections of cultural artifacts are important resources requiring careful and skilled management. Museum studies courses often seek to prepare students to administrate these irreplaceable repositories of heritage in a professional capacity.
